Help:Contents

• Please try to keep pages consistent, even if that means copying the layout from another page.
• There are guides that help you get familiar with adding content to the wiki, you can test them on your userpage (click your name anywhere)
• Please use the "Upload a new version of this file" instead of creating a new image/file when updating images
  • "updating" a picture with a smaller and worse resolution image isn't very useful.
  • If a image is too big for your purpose, simply resize it with commands like |300px|
• Do not needlessly create templates. Their purpose is to place the same repetitive info/layout on multiple pages.
  • If the info is only going to be seen on one page or two, then they do not belong as a template. Unless the page is getting complex and cramped (example: main page)

Notes
The wiki is very CASE SENSITIVE when it comes to links and filenames When you move a page to a new name, it will create a REDIRECT which forwards people to the current location Think of using Templates like you are actually filling in forms, manual is on the template pages themselves Please Use your UserPage like a sandbox to test out formatting or pre-creating content There are sometimes hidden notes which can only be seen while editing, <!-- putting these around the message -->.
